Oppo DV-983H review

 

The Oppo is a bit of an oddity in today's home cinema market: yes it's a universal DVD/SACD player, but it doesn't play Blu-rays

Excellent upscaling ; fine sound quality when playing SA-CD discs via HDMI

Unfavourable exchange rates ; competition from Blu-ray Disc players ; looks a bit cheap

Oppo's DV-980H player is a fine DVD all-rounder; the upmarket DV-983H is a victim of that machine's success, the Blu-ray invasion and the plummeting pound

Oppo DV-983H review

 

A 1080p player with tons of features and knockout performance

Picture and sound quality ; Excellent upscaling ; Glow-in-the-dark remote

Cluttered remote control ; Clunky and unattractive onscreen menus

Sod the credit crunch, the OPPO’s ace pictures, sound and features make it worth getting into debt for

Oppo DV-983H review: Oppo DV-983H

 

Oppo DV-983H

Excellent image quality on DVDs; can upscale to 1080p; plays DVD-Audio and SACD discs over HDMI output; 7.1 analog outputs; USB port for playing DivX, MP3 and JPEG files; excellent aspect-ratio controls and zooming; can be made region-free with a...

Very expensive for a standard-definition disc player; remote is cluttered with buttons; Blu-ray discs look much better than DVDs.

The Oppo DV-983H is pretty much the ultimate standard-def disc player, but its high price means videophiles on a budget can get a better bang for their buck.

Oppo DV-983H Flagship Universal DVD Player Review

 

If this player had been released two years ago we'd say that Oppo has stolen the market. Though it faces stiff competition from Blu-ray, the DV-983H may be the greatest affordable universal DVD player to hit the market.

Pristine video performance ; Bargain upconverting player ; Standard power cable

Tough sell in current marketplace ; Rudimentary bass management ; Fixed crossover (when engaged)

Oppo Digital DV-983H DVD Player – The Rest of the Story

 

You have read our Secrets DVD Benchmark™ review of the Oppo Digital DV-983H DVD player that showed you how good the player is at delivering video. Now read about its audio performance.

While it is likely we will all be using HDMI from our DVD players to send both audio and video to our SSPs or receivers in the near future, measurement of the analog performance of players is still an indicator of build quality, and the Oppo DV-983H is...

Oppo Digital DV-983H DVD Player

 

The Oppo Digital DV-983H is finally about to arrive (March 10, 2008). The Secrets Benchmark test results are spectacular. For $399, this is a player that everyone should consider.

The tentative release date of the Oppo DV-983H is March 10, 2008, and if you’re looking for reference video playback performance, this is it. Oppo has produced one heck of a machine. Its performance matches any design I’ve tested to date, and its...

OPPO DV-983H DVD Player Review

 

In the world of upconverting DVD players, the OPPO DV-983H is a videophile's dream machine. It may be overkill for those less discriminating or with smaller displays.

Playback and its sister magazine The Absolute Sound have reviewed a number of Oppo universal players over the years, all of them offering great performance per dollar, some of them winning awards, and most priced at or below the low $200 range. But...
